Abstract

Example systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are directed to determining a geographic location to be assessed; obtaining information associated with the geographic location, the information including at least one data point of the geographic location; classifying one or more habitats within the geographic location based on at least one machine learning model that processes the at least one data point of the geographic location; determining at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats based at least in part on the at least one data point of the geographic location; and providing an interface that includes at least a map of the geographic location and the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats, the one or more classified habitats are visually segmented in the map by habitat type.

Claims (46)

1. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory, the memory containing instructions to control any number of the at least one processor to:

determine a geographic location to be assessed;

obtain information associated with the geographic location, the information including at least one data point of the geographic location;

classify one or more habitats within the geographic location based on at least one machine learning model that processes the at least one data point of the geographic location;

determine at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats based at least in part on the at least one data point of the geographic location;

provide an interface that includes at least a map of the geographic location and the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats, wherein the one or more classified habitats are visually segmented in the map by habitat type;

receive a selection of a region of the one or more classified habitats, wherein the region is designated for land conversion;

determine at least one change to the at least one respective metric for the region based upon the land conversion; and

provide information describing the at least one change to the at least one respective metric in the interface.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the interface provides an option to digitally draw physical boundaries of the region within the map of the geographic location.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the interface provides an option to specify new attributes for the region designated for land conversion, the new attributes including at least a new habitat type planned for the region.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one change to the at least one respective metric for the region include one or more of: a change to a biodiversity measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a carbon measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to an air quality measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a flood risk measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a timber measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a food production measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a pollination measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a natural capital measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a monetary value measurement associated with the geographic location, a change to a societal value measurement associated with the geographic location, and a change to a tree measurement associated with the geographic location.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the instructions further control any number of the at least one processor to provide read-only access to the interface to at least one third-party tasked with approving the land conversion.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats is determined based on a user-defined configuration that specifies one or more assessments to be performed in relation to the geographic location.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats corresponds to a biodiversity metric, a carbon metric, an air quality metric, a flood risk metric, a timber metric, a food production metric, a pollination metric, a natural capital metric, a monetary value metric, a societal value metric, a tree count metric, or a tree height metric.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions, the executable instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

determining a geographic location to be assessed;

obtaining information associated with the geographic location, the information including at least one data point of the geographic location;

classifying one or more habitats within the geographic location based on at least one machine learning model that processes the at least one data point of the geographic location;

determining at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats based at least in part on the at least one data point of the geographic location;

providing an interface that includes at least a map of the geographic location and the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats, wherein the one or more classified habitats are visually segmented in the map by habitat type;

receiving a selection of a region of the one or more classified habitats, wherein the region is designated for land conversion;

determining at least one change to the at least one respective metric for the region based upon the land conversion; and

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats is determined based on a user-defined configuration that specifies one or more assessments to be performed in relation to the geographic location.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats corresponds to a biodiversity metric, a carbon metric, an air quality metric, a flood risk metric, a timber metric, a food production metric, a pollination metric, a natural capital metric, a monetary value metric, a societal value metric, a tree count metric, or a tree height metric.

15. A method comprising:

determining a geographic location to be assessed;

obtaining information associated with the geographic location, the information including at least one data point of the geographic location;

classifying one or more habitats within the geographic location based on at least one machine learning model that processes the at least one data point of the geographic location;

determining at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats based at least in part on the at least one data point of the geographic location;

providing an interface that includes at least a map of the geographic location and the at least one respective metric for the one or more classified habitats, wherein the one or more classified habitats are visually segmented in the map by habitat type;
